Patients that have very compromised systems in close proximity. They eat together, play bingo together and the nurses are physical (moving, washing, cleaning) with patients.

It’s not bad care, it’s just tough to keep anything from spreading.

I dug out paperwork from when my wife got the diagnosis for COPD and was prescribed a nebulizer w/albuterol and inhalers. She took that to work last night to the nursing home she works at so she could show it to her boss. She might come home today and stay home for a couple of weeks. She should according to the guidelines but as of the evening news last night, Missouri hasn’t adopted those guidelines yet. News people were shaming a restaurant/pub in St Louis for being open. A reporter at yesterday’s task force presser asked about the handful of States not doing anything and Trump said, we know who they are and will be talking to them.

My personal feeling is that our location doesn’t need to start the two week thing for another week or so. It’s not like we’re near a hotspot and it takes time to get from one place to another and spread between persons. On the other hand we don’t really know how much of it is where.

I don’t think two weeks will be enough just because this thing does take time to spread.

Person A gets it and carries it for 10 days, with no symptoms, before giving it to person B. Person B can be a carrier for 14 or more days and if they’re young, may never show symptoms. That’s the silent enemy thing they talk about. Person B walks around for a couple of weeks before they give it to persons, C, D, E, F -— X, etc.

14 days not enough. I bet they extend it another two weeks.

It’s crazy shutting the country down for a month but it’s also crazy getting to a point where hospitals are saying, nope, you go home and die. Can’t do anything for you. MSM would have a field day with that. Sick bastards that they are. As of yesterday they’ve started saying good thing about Trump but they’ll turn on him in a second.

I feel really bad for Trump. All the shit he’s been through yet managed to build up the economy and kill unemployment just for this to happen. He’s taking it well. Just another challenge. Something to do better than anyone else would. Something to WIN. Such a badass.
